Despite gender equality being a recognised priority within the health and development agenda, there have been limited reviews and studies looking at the interplay between gender and AMR, and even less investigating best practices for incorporating a gender lens in AMR research. To ensure that interventions do not have unintended consequences on gender equality, AMR policies, interventions and programmes must be context-specific and designed with the users and beneficiaries in mind.
This video introduces a user-friendly resource tool titled ‘Practical pathways to integrating gender and equity considerations in antimicrobial resistance research’ to equip AMR researchers in incorporating gender and equity considerations into their studies from conceptualisation through to dissemination of findings. The resource was designed to be as accessible as possible, regardless of pre-existing knowledge or experience in applying gender approaches, and is intended for researchers from a range of research and academic backgrounds.
